Nintendo losing millions as gamers wait for Wii U

The Japanese gaming giant has released its first-quarter financial results for the period ending June 30 2012. Though the number of Nintendo 3DS handheld consoles rose to 162 per cent compared to the same quarter a year before and the Nintendo 3DS software increased to 63 per cent, both the Nintendo Wii and original Nintendo DS failed to reach a million units sold in the same time frame, as gamers are opting instead to wait for the new Wii U - or so Nintendo hopes.
